In fact, based on the rumours in the last comment, it has actually already happening but the IANA is holding back the allocation of the two last IANA "non-final" /8 blocks to APNIC for a couple of days to plan for a major media-event. (which - I guess- will not happen on a friday; so probably early next week). So, this leads us to the next question: What about a predection for the RIPE ipv4-depletion day? According the "bye-bye ipv4" applet I have running, the RIPE-pool currently has some 10.7 % still free: 279835 /24 left before the "final-/8" rules become to play. Any prediction how far we are from that point? Cheerio! Kr.
